Time Served Lyrics
Hold steady on the trigger's time
Walk away counting backwards from nine
Holdin' his breath so to start his own dying
To the ones that left you here
Soon to be put to numbers so its one in the same
It's anyone's game as long as the fire flickers
The throat stickers, they place their bet
The trouble is that no one's added it up quite yet
Cause when they do, when they do, when they do, when they do
it'll be a
Riot and the wire is down
Hold up for the fury to sound
Hold up your head from the ground
Or they'll keep you on it
To the ones who left you here
Ever ready for the fire to fall
The confinees haven't seen the sun since
The lifers let go of their irrelevant innocence
Word spread form block to block to cell block
They're going to take him
And make an example of him for the escapees to fear
Incoming of the gun
Oncoming another year
You either die on the inside or trying to get out
The choice is yours, the choice is here
This song is all about an escape attempt from jail. All the prisoners have a big plan to escape, everyone's placing bets on whether it will work, the last verse is about the actual escape, and you have to make a choice of being locked up forever for the escape, or risk death on the outside getting out... this song always gets me riled before games and shit... mad good
I'm pretty sure this song is mainly about prison. Other than that, I've got no clue. This song sounds great though on Gut the Van.
this is def. a great song to listen to if u wanna get riled up, i always listen to it in a car when im driving to get in that fast kinda mood.
the line "the incoming of the incoming of a gun, oncoming of another year, the choice is yours, the choise is here" sends chills up my spine.
it is amazaing on gut the van, too.
I love acoustic dispatch music, this song's more electronic-guitars.. it isn't bad... but I like the acoustic dispatch music.. it's better..
def. the best dispatch song. no doubt about it.
i agree with the prison deal 100 percent. just wanted to add that it also seems to me that its talking about death row or life sent.
im guessin its about at war prison, very good song
After realizing what the lyrics mean I get chills everytime I listen to it. Awesome song too. It's amazing that the same band who wrote "Walk with You" wrote a song like this. Awesome.
this song is nice! good for getting pumped.
